Re bull pur bull pose

T hOSE Of YOU whO know me know I have a fondness for (some have even told me a real knack for) home DIY projects I love shopping yard sales

estate sales and Goodwill looking for my next craft-itbuild-itmake-it-over home deacutecor weekend obsession

Repurposing home deacutecor is certainly one of my favorite DIY strategies We all have many old unused or even unwanted items in our homehelliptaking up space in our cupboards clos-ets storage rooms and attics And while it feels good to do a clean sweep every few years and shed those unwanted items I beg youmdashWAIT and take another look You might just have something wonderful right under your nose clamoring for a new life with the help of a clever reinvention With a little ingenuity time and a few supplies you might just turn that little do-nothing piece into something entirely useful uniquely decorative or even a great conversation piece (while keeping it out of the landfill) And oftentimes youll spend a fraction of the cost to repurpose it as you would to replace it

Think youre not crafty enough Not the creative type Dont have time Think again Beside the obviousmdashPinterest which is flooded daily with great new home DIY project ideasmdashthere are plenty of websites and magazines devoted to the topic Here are a couple of my favorites to get you started popcosmocom houzzcom and buzzfeedcom And for direc-tions and photos of two of my own DIY repurposed home deacutecor projects see pages H34-35 Good luck

SandySandy MatsonContributing Editor Omaha Home

If you have a clever idea for a home deacutecor makeover project wed love for you to share Please email me a picture of your project (before and after photos are ideal) along with a brief description of the makeover process to sandybeschomahapub-licationscom and we may include your project in a future issue of Omaha Home

A I think the architecture seed was first planted while I was growing up in Virginia We would take school field trips to Colonial Williamsburg and I found myself more inter-ested in the architecture of historic buildings than anything else I really enjoyed studying the aspects that make a building uniquemdashthe setting the form the detailshellipand trying to discern the things I liked and disliked about a particular building These experi-ences also gave me an appreciation for historic preservation

A One of my favorites was a new house that I designed on a beautiful 40-acre lot south of town that was full of bur oak trees and teeming with wildlife With a large acre-age you not only design the residencehellipthe creativity extends to the broader view of the site the approach of the house Siting the house can be the most difficult taskhellipthe

vegetation views sun patterns and topog-raphy are all factors the homeowner will live with every day In this case there was an open flat area that initially appeared the best place-ment option However after further analysis pushing [the residence] back to a spot nestled within some trees gave the house a feeling like it belongedhellipas if it grew out of the site

The finished house is not hugemdashless than 3000 finished square feetmdashbut itrsquos the siting of the house the quality of the spaces and the craftsmanship of the details that reflect the homeownersrsquo personality and make it a great project The house was featured on the AIA [American Institute of Architects] Omaha Home Tour a couple years ago and Irsquom still getting feedback from attendees on how much they appreciated the house

Real Estate making an offer

beef Up Your Offer

W Ith hOME prIcES rISIng potential buyers need to make their offer stand out To help

beef up your offer here are five questions you should ask1 Do I have a strong pre-approval letter

Get pre-approved for a loan from a trusted lender This letter is evidence of how much you can borrow and shows that a lender has done a credit check and veri-fied income and assets so your ultimate mortgage approval can go more smoothly

1 Do I know what the seller wants Working with a reputable real estate agent you should determine the sellerrsquos motivations In some cases sellers want to close quickly Other times they may be waiting to relocate and a speedy clos-ing is less important

1 Can I avoid contingencies Sellers who do want to close quickly may get antsy about contingent offersmdashsuch as when the buyer needs to sell a current residence Try to avoid contingencies if possible

1 Is my offer price strong A good real estate agent should be able to advise you on comparable sales and listings in the neighborhood you want This informa-tion can help you strengthen your offer

1 Do I have the cash to close Its helpful to have your cash amassed in a liquid account to cover the down payment clos-ing costs and other expenses

If you answer yes to all or most of these questions then yoursquoll be on stronger footing when it comes to making an offer on a home

diagnosing a troubled tree

W hEn dIagnOSIng a trOU-bLEd tree there are many vari-ables that come into play What

species of tree are we dealing with When and where was it planted What problematic symptoms does it exhibit One should look at the surroundings of the plant Construction and soil compaction can play a huge role in a treersquos longevity Weather is also a big factor Storm damage such as hail can wreak havoc on a treersquos well-being

The biggest issue we see is poor initial plant-ing Many trees are planted too deep or too high in the soil A tree can survive in these stressful conditions for approximately 4-5 years before showing signs of decline Watering can be a big issue too Most trees need 1rdquo of water each week Not enough or too much water can be detrimental to the treersquos growth

When treating a diseased tree the right diagnosis is key Only a certified arborist will know which fungicide is required to treat a fungal problem or which insecticide will best treat a tree infested with pests Using the proper treatment application method is also essential and may depend on the severity of tree damage When you see a tree exhibiting signs of trouble itrsquos best to call a professional arborist right away Likely the tree has been in distress for some time Better yet employ a regular tree service to service and treat your trees year-round before the trouble starts

Homes for Heroes Program rewards those who serve with

savings on their home purchase

W hEn MOrtgagE LOan OffIcEr Michael Petrovich with The Private Mortgage

Group in Omaha was offered the chance to work with the national Homes for Heroes program he says it seemed like a perfect opportunity to show his thanks to those we depend on

The programmdashwhich uses the tagline lsquoService Deserves Its Rewardsrsquomdashoffers dis-counts on real estate-related services to active and retired military police officers firefight-ers teachers and other civil servants that serve our communities and our country

ldquoMy dad was a fireman for years with the Omaha Fire Department and a good friend of minersquos dad is a retired Omaha police officerrdquo Petrovich says ldquoI also have a lot of friends in the military [The program] sounded like an opportunity to help out a lot of friends and family and this was an area I felt I could gtgt

ltlt really make a differencehellipsaving them some money when buying a homerdquo

Petrovich says as a Homes for Heroes affili-ate member he offers ldquoherordquo homebuyers free home appraisals which are often required for home purchases and refinances handled by his firm Waiving the fee saves the home-buyer $400 Fellow Private Mortgage Group employees Pete Coen and Jeremy Wilhelm are also affiliate members

ldquoWe can offer the discounts to any quali-fying client in the OmahaFremont terri-tory we cover All they need to do is sign up on the Homes for Heroes website and it directs them to all the affiliates in the areardquo Petrovich explains

Real estate agents make up a large number of HFH affliliate members nationally Locally

Prudential Ambassador Real Estate agents Michelle Gustafson Gary Gernhart Mamie Jackson and Matt Anderson are affiliates ldquoWe know the agents [at Prudential] and wersquove worked together to offer clients the HFH discounts Itrsquos been a team effortrdquo Petrovich adds

The Homes for Heroes program was first created in 2002 by a group of lenders and Realtors in Minneapolis in response to the tragic events of 911 Petrovich was among the first Homes for Heroes affiliate members in Nebraska joining in November 2012 when the program first launched in Omaha The 501(c)(3) nonprofit comprised of Realtors lenders and other real estate-related service providers now has approximately 750 affiliates nationwide serving homeowners in 44 states

Steve Minino a Realtor with NP Dodge Real Estate is another Homes for Heroes affliate in Omaha Along with Realtors Deb and Mark Hopkins (all part of the Hopkins Home Team) Minino got involved when he learned about the program on the local news

We saw the advantages right away and jumped on boardbeing able to help our local heroes while getting some great expo-sure for us he says It was definitely a win-win situation

My family also has a long tradition of members serving in the Marine Corps We liked the idea of helping out family and friends who serve and who could really benefit

As an affiliate Minino says he offers 25 percent of his sales commission back toward the purchase process for Homes for Heroes

Being a first-year teacher and a first-time homeowner Irsquom very appreciative of all the help we receivedhellipIt meant everything to us

clients This money is typically applied toward the closing costs being paid by the homebuyer he says If the buyer is not responsible for closing costs then the money is donated to a charity of their choice

Minino also donates another five percent of his commission directly back to the Homes for Heroes organization which they use to fund other projects including the rehabing of homes to accommodate injured veterans

Were currently working with several Heroes clients and we hope to grow that number in the next six months or so

Millard Public Schools teacher Stephanie Poltack and her fianceacute Aaron Mackel recently purchased a home together in West Omaha and took advantage of dis-counts offered by several local Homes for Heroes affliliates ldquoMy Realtor Judy Kramer with Prudential told me about [Homes for Heroes] and referred merdquo Poltack says ldquoThrough the program we received closing-cost assistance and got a discounted home inspection and The Private Mortgage Group gave us a free home appraisal I believe we saved $1325 in all

ldquoBeing a first-year teacher and a first-time homeowner Irsquom very appreciative of all the help we receivedhellipIt meant everything to usrdquo Poltack adds ldquoWe were able to use the money saved to go out and buy a washer and dryer Itrsquos a great program and I think if more people were aware of it more would take advantage of itrdquo

Nationally several media outlets and Hollywood celebrities have helped publicize the good works being done by Homes for Heroesrsquo affiliates nationwide including Sean Hannity with Fox News actor Gary Sinise and the Orlando Magic basketball franchise However the nonprofit has grown primarily through word of mouth via the internet and news media

Petrovich says one of the goals of the Omaha-area affiliates is to raise aware-ness of the Homes for Heroes program in Nebraska and encourage participation by our local heroes

ldquoWersquore getting together to discuss ways to advertiserdquo he said Wersquove placed ads in the Fremont paper hung posters in firehouses and around townhellipWe want our civil servants and military to know we support them and say thank you for serving our country and our communityrdquo

WaterfordA Peaceful Escape from the City Without Compromising

Modern Conveniences

B EaUtIfUL LandScapIng natUrE at your doorstep a state-of-the-art clubhouse and fitness center overlooking the serene poolSounds more like a dreamy vacation destination than a perma-nent residence

Waterford is a cozy neighborhood tucked away at the corner of 156th and Ida streets in northwest Omaha ldquoIt is a quiet neighborhood with a lot of families and is a place where you really get to know your neighborsrdquo says Jennifer Magilton with CBSHome Real Estate ldquoIt has that small-town sense of communityrdquo

Resident Kim Brown attests to Waterfordrsquos tight-knit community ldquoThe neighborhood is friendly quiet and the neighbors are very supportive caring and gracious We are all very close and know what each other needs If youre going to be gone for a week no problemhellipYour neighbor will get your mail or mow your yard And when a neighbor is going through a tough time we all pull together and do whatever needs to be done says Brown

The residents of Waterford enjoy throwing holiday parties for the kids ldquoTraditionally we have a Halloween gtgt


ltlt party an Easter Egg Hunt and Santa comes on a fire truckrdquo says Brown ldquoWe have people bring cookies for the Christmas event and candy for the Halloween event A committee gets together to plan and solicit any donations or other items that need to be purchasedrdquo

Brown and her family have lived in Waterford for six years and do not plan on moving anytime soon In the area where I live [northeast] we are pretty establishedhellipthere are only a few lots left So if you want to buy hurry

The subdivision offers three housing options all with access to the private club-house 24-hour fitness center two swimming pools lake and walking trails single-family homes estate lots and villastownhomes with lawn and trash services included

ldquoThe neighborhood has a variety of archi-tectural [home] designs from ultra-chic modern to Colorado cabin as well as tra-ditional homes in a wide range of priceshellip lots of different styles of homes through-out because of all of the different buildersrdquo says Magilton Homes sell for $250000 to $700000

The winding roads of Waterford are a calm-ing retreat from the city noise and traffic The streets are lined with neat rose bushes shrubs and local prairie grasses The neighborhood has a private clubhouse equipped with a pool and 24-hour fitness center A second pool sits on the southeast side of the subdivision

Outdoors enthusiasts enjoy the secluded 30-acre lake stocked with fish and the bikingjogging trail ldquoI absolutely love the access we have to nature in terms of green space and walking trailsrdquo says resident Maria Minderman ldquoYou can access Standing Bear [Recreational Area] and many other trails through the trail systemrdquo

The clubhouse is an excellent resource for residents Its a charming space that includes a kitchen and a large open space plus a sitting area with couches a television and fireplace Several of the Waterford community activities are hosted there

If you have a small party I would guess the clubhouse would comfortably hold any-where from 25-50 people It would be a great place for a rehearsal dinner graduation or birthday party Brown adds ldquoIt is a very nice treat for residents if they do not want to go into OmahahellipThere is something right here that they can use Plus you donrsquot have gtgt

ltlt to clean your houseThe neighborhood is unique in that

its located in both the Omaha Public and Bennington Public School districts Mindermanrsquos childrenmdashwho just finished kindergarten second and fourth gradesmdashgo to Saddlebrook Elementary in OPS just 15 miles from her house ldquoI absolutely love Saddlebrook The school is brand-new and has a library and a community center I donrsquot think you could find a better school in Omahardquo says Minderman

Brownrsquos two children attend Bennington Public Schools We have a lot of different school systems represented in Waterfordrdquo

says Brown ldquoI know families that attend St James [Catholic] Lifegate Christian School and Concordia [Lutheran] School of Omahardquo

Brown and her family built their two-story traditional home and were very pleased with their building options ldquoWe didnt want a cookie-cutter house says Brown adding she admires the other unique homes in the area A house was just built down the road from us that is absolutely beautiful It has more of a Colorado feel to it There are a couple of really unique homes that resemble a Frank Lloyd Wright stylerdquo

Waterford offers the proximity to modern conveniences without sacrificing the natural

elements We have geese that make their home at the lake most of the year It is very serene to walk around the lake and see the geese ducks and bunnies I saw a bald eagle the other day says Brown

At the same time the subdivision is just a couple miles from the shopping and dining at centers at 144th and 156th and Maple streets Target Wal-Mart and HyVee are just a quick drive away

And if youre a golfer Stone Creek Golf Course (156th amp Ida) is just a stroll across the street

of these booksmdashselflessness the human con-dition cherishing the earthhelliprdquo Hollins says ldquoEveryone is both the tree and the boy at some time in their liferdquo

To create the mural Hollins used a tech-nique his mother an artist had used to create a mural years ago ldquoI remember her using a crude image projector which was basically a box with a mirror that would project whatever image was placed into the box onto a surfacerdquo he says ldquoI got to thinking I could have a lot more control over the image if I used a digital projector so I used a digital camera to take a picture of the cover of the book Then using a laptop I was able to scale and orient the image on the wall Once I had the image projected it was simply a matter of tracing over the lines of the imagerdquo No problem for Hollins an electrical engineer with HDR who works with computer-generated images daily

With the help of his brother Greg Hollins traced the outline using paintbrushes and black latex paint then filled in the apple and the boyrsquos overalls with red paint to replicate the color illustration In all the project cost him and Greg about six hours of their week-end and less than $50 in supplies

One lesson the Hollins brothers learned the hard way was that the right tools make all the difference ldquoHaving the correct brush type for this project is important My brother and I originally started the project with some old paintbrushes I already had We realized early on we needed fine brushes to do the job right and so we spent a good amount of time wandering the aisles of Hobby Lobby search-ing for the perfect brushesrdquo he confesses

Since the completion of the mural Hollins and wife Alicia have decorated the rest of Loganrsquos room with other storybook themes Curious George sheets now dress his bed and an artwork purchased on Etsy creatively dis-plays a whimsical illustration from the Dr Seuss book And to Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street

Hollins says he hopes The Giving Tree mural will instill in his son an appreciation for Silversteinrsquos ldquoRight now [to Logan] itrsquos just a cool picture of a tree handing an apple to the little boy as it was to me when I was his age Hopefully years from now he will find the message meaningfulrdquo

Jennifer and Bryan Yannone at home in Sterling Ridge


Story by Jenna Gabrial Gallagher bull Photos by Bill Sitzmann amp Jim Scholz

Omaha Home at home

The Best of All WorldsThe Yannone family finds their high-tech

dream home in a new development that brings families and faiths together

L EtrsquoS dISpEnSE wIth thE refer-ences to a certain

rsquo70s sitcom right off the bat Yes Jennifer and Bryan Yannone are the parents of a blended family of six kids Yes Bryan is project director for Lockwood Development and Bloomfield Custom Homes a position with some surface similarities to the architecture job of his TV dad counterpart And yes the Yannones are a tele-genic couple with a warm relaxed vibe

But their new home the first in Sterling Ridge at 132nd and Pacific in Omaha represents more than just the union of two families It is the conver-gence of several decidedly 21st-century ideas about diversity work-life balance smart-home technology and the logistics of new urban planning in an already very established part of the city

Sterling Ridge is a mixed-use development of commer-cial residential retail and religious space When com-pleted the 153-acre site will feature more than 700000 square feet of office space 30 high-end custom homes 10 villas retail restaurants an assisted living facility a hotel and the Tri-Faith Initiative a collaboration of Temple Israel The Episcopal Diocese of Nebraska and The American Institute of Islamic Studies and Culture

The very location of the site signifies this spirit of inclu-siveness It was once home to the venerable Highland Country Club established in 1924 as a club where Jewish members would be welcome (Highland changed hands in the 1990s and the newly gtgt



Omaha Home at home

1 The large open-concept kitchen-dining-family room features a huge sectional and two islands allowing ample space for all eight of the Yannone-Gibbons clan to hang out

2 Clean lines cool colors and high-end appliances create a contemporary yet functional kitchen

3 A decorative backsplash composed of neutral-col-ored linear mosaic tiles adds a modern artistic touch


4 Another living area with a gas fireplace and more seating sits adjacent the kitchen A window top right peers into the kitchen area More windows offer views into the indooroutdoor room

5 A stone wall and second gas fireplace lend a rustic feel to the indooroutdoor sitting room

6 A wall of windows folds open next to the vented gas grill allowing access to the backyard

ltlt named Ironwood shuttered and was sold to Lockwood Development at a bank auction in 2010)

In a city that is constantly expanding to points west north and south the central location also acts as an integration point for several parts of town

This was especially important to the Yannones who had children in two sepa-rate school districts ldquoThere was nowhere in Midtown Omaha where you could build a new custom home without having to knock down an existing homerdquo says Jennifer a gifted and talented facilitator for Omaha Public Schools

As members of the community and because of their family association with the develop-ment company the Yannones are particularly sensitive to the historical and civic importance of the property ldquoPeople were disappointed when Ironwood closedrdquo Jennifer acknowl-edges ldquoLockwood wanted to make this development worth the sacrifice For every tree they took down they planted five more They spared no expense to provide a com-munity feelrdquo

Inside the seven-bedroom 5700-square-foot Yannone home that communal sense is most keenly felt in the open kitchen dining and seating area that serves as the focal point

of the familyrsquos activities ldquoWe spend most of our time between these three roomsrdquo says Jennifer of the multi-functional space which features clean lines and cool neutral colors ldquoI wanted it to look contemporary but still homey and livablerdquo

The family worked with Lisa Shrager of LMK Concepts and Megan Bret of Exquisite Finishes on the homersquos interiors ldquoThe trick was making the home durable and low-maintenance without compromis-ing stylerdquo says Shrager She achieved the familyrsquos desired blend of a sleek look and a warm vibe by balancing hard manmade sur-faces like the kitchen backsplash comprised

8 A Husker motif is featured in son Braydenrsquos room

of multiple metals including stainless steel and bronze with natural materials like stained rich oak wood on the cabinetry and granite countertops

This harmony reverbates around the room a mantle of 12x24-inch tile acts as a horizontal counterpoint to the strong vertical presence of the fireplace itself This is geometrically echoed in light linear tiling that serves as bridge between the three sections of the main family space and on the flooring and walls throughout the home

The children picked their own colors themes and bedding for their rooms a Husker motif for the youngest Brayden

Yannone (9) sports for the two middle boys Baylen Yannone (11) and Drew Gibbons (12) music and guitar for the eldest boy Luke Gibbons (14) and inspiring quotes for Jenniferrsquos daughter Michaela Gibbons (17) Her older daughter Jessica Gibbons (21) lives away at college but has claimed a room on the lower level for school breaks

The Mediterranean-inspired exterior of the home which also serves as a model for Bloomfield Custom Homes was Bryanrsquos idea Its sand-colored stucco and stone ediface crowned by hipped roofs envel-ops an open road-facing courtyard and would not be out of place among the revival

mansions of Pasadena ldquoI wanted a home that was a vacationrdquo

Before they could kick back and enjoy the family had to educate themselves about the various ldquosmartrdquo features of their home most of which including cameras garage doors lights and music can be operated from an iPad ldquoWhen you walk out the door therersquos an off button You can shut off the whole houserdquo Jennifer says with glee ldquoBefore we moved in we had to take the kids around lsquoThis is how you shut off the lightshelliprsquordquo

And while the Yannone-Gibbons clan is clearly having fun with the more dazzling fea-tures of their new stomping grounds (such gtgt

exterior with sand-colored stucco a stone ediface and hipped roofs

14 The luxurious master bath features a huge walk-in shower with frosted glass doors a square sunken Jacuzzi tub and a vanity which lines the entire length of the generous room

ltlt as the time Michaela called Jennifer from downstairs to tell her it was too warm and Jennifer fixed it without leaving the comfort of her sofa) their parents are careful to keep them grounded

ldquoThey all think we live in a mansionrdquo Jennifer laughs ldquoBut we remind them that wersquore blessed to have this When schoolrsquos out we do a lot of volunteering like at the Open Door Missionrdquo

ldquoWith the house came new responsibilitiesrdquo says Bryan ldquoItrsquos a group effort to keep a house this size but the children have become very efficient about itrdquo

Itrsquos a synthesis formula that the businesses other families and spiritual communities of Sterling Ridge would do well to copy As Jennifer puts it ldquoWe all pitch in and take care of what we haverdquo

Balance amp Harmony

A S an IntErIOr dESIgnEr (and a Libran) Susan T McMannama ASID has always sought balance and harmony within her proj-

ects In the case of this recent remodel of the lower level of a home in Champions Run harmony was needed to balance the wifersquos desire for a contemporary feel with the husbandrsquos desire for a hideaway fit for a transplanted Texas Longhorn

There were a few must-haves requested by the home-owners a full-size kitchen for entertaining plenty of storage a wine room a fireplace and a bedroom for frequent guests The husband wanted to include a pair of Eames chairs and ottomans Plus all of the finish materials should be easy to maintain and the colors needed to flow from space to space

Space for the guest bedroom area was found by relo-cating the door to the furnace and storage room creating a hallway that separated the quiet area from the more active spaces The new entrance to the furnacestorage room included double doors A Murphy bed system was implemented within new cabinetry on one wall of the bedroom Luxurious bedding from The Linen Gallery was used to add softness and a pop of color The bedroom could double as a home gym

A quartz material was used for the abundant counter-tops in the kitchen and a glass tile mosaic selected gtgt


ltlt by the husband was used for the backsplash The custom cabinetry which was stained and glazed can store all of the dishes and equip-ment for any size gathering Lighting both underneath and inside glass cabinets added sparkle and helped illu-minate the couplersquos glass and bottle collection The trav-ertine-looking ceramic tile floor flows from the kitchen through to the wine storage room and into the bathroom and hallways Custom coun-ter stools were upholstered in a woven leather fabric

After relocating the door to the bathroom the original tubshower was removed and a new walk-in shower with a floating bench took its place A sleek hand held faucet and an oversized shower-head were used to balance the size of the shower The original vanity received a new quartz counter plus a glass vessel sink Marble and glass tiles were used to frame the existing mirror

The symmetrical section-als in the sittingviewing area flank the pair of Eames chairs and ottomans A new fireplace and TV were built into a recessed area that for-merly held a big-screen TV Light oak ldquodrinksrdquo tables harmonize with the black leather A mica wall cover-ing was installed on the fire-place wall and also on the wall with the buffet

To keep marital harmony in the family a photo of a Texas Longhorn was hung above the buffet Two more steers soon followed for the sitting area followed by a fourth in the wine room The final Longhorn was hung in the hallway to the bedroom with a treasured antique bench (hers) placed below for balance

My favorite plant would have to be an apple tree When I was a kid my family lived in Nebraska City Neb home of Arbor Day Naturally there were trees everywhere but we had two apple trees in our yard Every fall my dad would bring out the ladder and let my younger sister and I help pick apples We kept quite a few bags for ourselves but we also gave some away to family friends and neighbors

Growing up on a farm in Iowa we had those big beautiful peony bushesseemed like we had hundreds many as big as me There were different shades of pink and white ones with pink on them Their smell reminds me so much of my childhood home and running around barefoot and carefree

Just this last week my fianceacute and I were doing a major landscaping project at our home and I thought it would be neat to plant a few of those peony bushes

However before I got a chance to buy them (and not knowing my fondness for them) he said ldquoI hate those peony bushes they always have ants crawling

all over themrdquo I had to chuckle to myself Guess Irsquoll just have my wonderful memories and admire them in other peoplersquos yards
